j2re package problem [FXx]

Did a new install.  Conflict went away.
Don't know if it is relevant but, new configuration includes a separate partition for /var and, executed j2re installation immediately after building KDE.

Hope nobody did a lot of head scratching over this.


Just attempted j2re installation.  Here is the resulting message:

Being new, something I did?

Re: j2re package problem [FXx]

It looks like the package downloaded incorrectly.

pacman -Rd j2re
rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/j2re*
pacman -S j2re
